Equipment Support for Engineering & Consulting Firms
Your project. Our equipment expertise.
Bring RTS into the equipment discussion early. We help engineering and consulting teams review applications, compare process equipment, and coordinate manufacturer input for client projects, new facilities, and plant retrofits across Canada.
From initial equipment lists and budget inquiries to application testing and startup coordination, we help connect project requirements with the right manufacturers.
Support across project stages: Concept & Feasibility • Equipment Selection • Budgeting • Detailed Equipment Review • Procurement Support • Retrofit Planning • Startup Coordination
Applications: Bulk solids, powders, granules, pellets, suitable wet solids, process liquids, dust collection, process exhaust, and heat tracing.
Define the application early
Turn a broad equipment request into a clearer process duty.
Support: Review material properties, capacity, batch size, operating conditions, layout constraints, and project objectives. Coordinate the application details manufacturers need to evaluate suitable equipment.
Support: Review bulk bag and container handling, flexible and rigid screw conveyors, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic/vacuum systems, bucket elevators, and vibratory equipment. Compare routing, abrasion, cleaning, and material behaviour.
Match ingredient addition to the process requirement.
Support: Discuss volumetric or gravimetric feeding, screw and vibratory feeders, rotary airlocks, and gate/diverter valves. Review capacity range, material behaviour, batch accuracy targets, and equipment interfaces with manufacturers.
Support: Review hoppers, live bottoms, Air Sweeps, vibrators, and flexible connectors around material characteristics, weighing, movement, air quality, and cleaning requirements.
Define what enters the process and what must come out.
Support: Review screening, classifying, scalping, dewatering, lump breaking, hammer mills, fine grinders, and air classifier mills. Match the discussion to feed properties, desired separation, final size, and testing needs.
Protect equipment and review recovery or quality goals.
Support: Compare magnetic separators, metal detectors, X-ray inspection, and optical sorting for suitable duties. Review material presentation, contaminants, belt or line conditions, required separation, and available testing.
Bring collection and protection requirements into the equipment discussion.
Support: Review dust collectors, bin vents, filter receivers, cyclones, scrubbers, and retrofit options. Coordinate combustible dust protection and DHA discussions with specialist partners where relevant.
Identify measurement and quality-check needs alongside handling equipment.
Support: Review point and continuous level sensing for dry solids and liquids, plus automatic sampling for suitable gravity, pneumatic, and static-material duties. Confirm operating conditions and required outputs with manufacturers.
Get the available manufacturer information needed for the next project stage.
Support: Coordinate budget or firm quotations and request available drawings, dimensions, utility requirements, construction details, testing information, documentation, and delivery estimates for the proposed configuration.
Plan how new equipment will fit the existing operation.
Support: Review access, headroom, upstream and downstream interfaces, maintenance needs, and installation sequencing. Coordinate qualified installation partners, manufacturer commissioning assistance, and troubleshooting support as required.
Send a project brief, equipment list, process-flow sketch, site photos, or a layout. Include material properties, required capacity, operating conditions, equipment interfaces, and your target project schedule. Preliminary information is enough to start the discussion.
Tell us which manufacturer information and deliverables your team needs. We will help identify what is available and coordinate the next steps with the relevant suppliers.
Food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, mining and minerals, recycling, water and wastewater, plastics, building products, grain and feed, energy, and industrial facilities.
Working on a new process, capacity increase, or plant retrofit? Share the application and the project stage. We will help identify suitable manufacturers and the information needed to move the equipment review forward.
